Many companies today are faced with ever increasing demands from
their customers, compounded by aggressive competition from overseas.
In order to maintain a competitive edge, these companies are looking
for outsourcing, either foreign or domestic, to reduce their costs
and maintain or increase market share. Once a company considers the
outsourcing business plan, a number of issues immediately come to
the forefront. What new staff do I need to monitor the process? What
special skill does this new staff need to have to make this process
successful? How do I find the BEST sources to make my products? How
do I know they are the best sources? Should I be looking at other
countries and if so, which ones? How do I guarantee the quality of
my products does not suffer? What happens if we change the design
a little? IS IT ALL WORTH IT?
At The Global Connection we strive to answer
all these questions and many more for our clients. Sometimes, it
may not make sense to move a product offshore and if that is the
case, we will tell you so. If a product should be moved, WHERE
to move it is critical and dependant on a number of criteria. We
can help you determine which products should be moved and where
they should be moved. We can help you establish a Quality Assurance
Program that will guarantee standards as high if not higher than
for in-house production. We can act as a consultant giving guidance
only, or we can set up a turn-key operation for you that allows
you to order your custom products from world-wide sources as easily
as placing an order at the local business supply store.
The Global Connection is not affiliated with
any offshore government agency or vendor. Since we have no affiliation
with any particular vendor, we can be unbiased in our vendor selection
process. The only bias we have is the bias of making sure our clients
are getting the best service and value available. We hold the confidentiality
and privacy of our clients in very high regard. Therefore before
any propriety material is passed along for quotations, we make
sure that agreements are in place to protect the rights of our
clients. We don’t deal with corrupt companies, officials,
or governments. We don’t accept bribes and we won’t
pay bribes, no matter how good the deal looks, PERIOD. If a client
is looking to do something like this, we respectfully request that
they take their business somewhere else.
If you are seriously considering looking for alternative sources
for Product Development, Component or Whole Product Manufacture,
Tooling or Total Project Management, let The Global Connection
help you determine if the business tool of Outsourcing is right
for you. |
